Hey guys... Here's what I found when I got home from a weekend away...the GFCI plug had blown and the whole system shut down. I'm not really sure how it happened. Any ideas? I have a Rio1100 300gph pump, a protein skimmer, a 300W heater, the lights that came with the tank, and a power head...

Any ideas how I can get this skimmer to produce? I haven't produced more than HALF a cup of skimmate from this unit even if I go without cleaning the cup for a month or LONGER. Like today I cleaned it (even tore the whole unit apart AGAIN) and there wasn't even 1/3 of a cup of skimmate after...

Hi, The pump just failed yesterday, it's almost exactly one year old. It's used for the intake into the skimmer (Turbofloater 1000). I'm wondering if there's another brand of pump out there someone can recommend. I saw a site where the rio got horrible reviews from customers. Meanwhile, I'm...
